Malawian father caged for sex assault on his son and daughter

The Blantyre Magistrate Court has ordered that 44 year-old Andrew Mazunda from Kapalapata village, Traditional Authority Timbiri in Nkhata-bay district be on full remand at Chichiri Prison in Blantyre pending his full trial on two accounts of sodomy and defilement.

The police arrested Mazunda on April 11, 2013 at his home at Naperi residence following revelations that he has been defiling his six year-old biological daughter, apart from sodomizing his 14 year-old son.

The suspect was caught red handed sodomizing his son by his wife in February this year, but the victim’s mother swept the incident under the carpet until on April 11, 2013 when she disclosed the ordeal at a family meeting.

“She told the police at Blantyre Police Station that during one night in the month of February 2013; she found her husband in the process of sodomizing his son aged 14 at the living room. She (mother) didn’t disclose to any person.
